ACER ICONIA DUO<br />
There’s no need to compromise<br />
on portability just because you want<br />
a bigger screen. The ICONIA DUO<br />
not only allows you to spread out<br />
with multiple windows, but its dual<br />
touch Gorilla Glass screens will also<br />
impress. Where the keyboard would<br />
normally be is a second screen.<br />
